SADIE GETS NUMBER 98

We’ve just heard that the country’s number one dog, the Scottish Terrier, CH Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, has collected career all breed BIS number 98 at today’s Wine Country Kennel Club in Napa CA.

CH Jeff Yvonne Orlowsky Laimus

Dana Cline also saw the English Springer Spaniel, CH Tara's Master Of "D" Game, the Rhodesian Ridgeback, CH Pupukearidge Ikaika O Sprngvly, the Black Russian Terrier, CH Jeff Yvonne Orlowsky Laimus, the Chihuahua, CH Jocal Dancing With The Stars, the Dalmatian, CH Xandu’s Angel Sabrina, and the Australian Shepherd, CH Alydar’s California Poppy.

It’s always a thrill to watch a dog close in on the century milestone of 100 all breed BIS. We started the year with three dogs achieving that mark. We feel very privileged to see another. As always, when it happens, you will read about it here first.

PRIZE FIGHT IN MASSACHUSETTS

We have a pair of BIS to tell you about, both from Fitchburg MA, both working dogs, and both top ten dogs all breeds.

CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream

On Friday, Geri Kelly chose the nation’s number two Working Dog and number six dog all breeds, the Boxer, CH Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream, as the Souhegan Kennel Club’s Best In Show. Today, at the Framingham District Kennel Club’s show, Lee Brown gave the BIS nod to the US’ number one Working Dog, the number two dog all breeds, the Doberman Pinscher, CH Allure Blazing Star Alisaton. That’s a one/two punch by two knockout specimens.

SMOOTH SAILING IN SALISBURY

MORE NATIONAL BISS

We admit it. We’ve been holding back on you. We recently began reporting some specialty results, in retrospect, a possibly over ambitious decision. However, we believe national specialties to be very important and will continue to report on them as best as we can.
